AxlisOld Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I used to work on the Hanford site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford_Site) decontaminating and breaking the the research district. The B Reactor of Hanford (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_Reactor) was the first reactor built and made the plutonium for the nuke on Nagasaki and much more. Anyway long story short the reactor has long since been decommissioned and is now considered a historical site at which they give tours. I finally got a spot on the tour and get to go with my dad (who has also worked on the Hanford site) this Tuesday morning. Yay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlisOld Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 The lead would be worse for you than most of the radiation exposure you could pick up on most any site, but I'm not here to argue that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlisOld Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 It's a deactivated reactor, if I had any effects on my it would be from the hot cell work I did before layoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
